Mr D's comment

Some great work here, Liam. However, you need more commentary on what you are doing as a group and individually, and on the THINKING that you are doing.

Report

How did public infomation films begin in the UK?

They were made by the government to tell the nation How dangerous stuff is, For example: Drugs,alcohol,Road safesty,driving safesty. Basically the key point they are clearly stating is "Be Safe".
Everything i listed (there maybe more) are life-threatening in some way.

What were the very early films like?


They used different methods to get there point across.
For Example:
Humour: The voice-over And the Actor is funny and silly which makes me people talk about it, I mean if you watch a funny advert on the TV. It is sticking into your brain because it funny As if it was boring people will be like "Not this again" And they will take no notice. People also will tell other people to watch it, As the audience of this advert grows, The more are aware.
Shocking footage: When the audience was watching this video, Normally these adverts would be like a car driving so fast and then a frame of the victim with a shocked face,Next frame they on the floor dying. These actually go into detail and Actually show what happens to the victim which is horrible for someone to witness.
Acting in the film:
The acting in the film seem to be quite good as the character was silly which also is a method to get the point across more. The actor used funny facial expressions and basically as the narrator was insulting him, He was really sad which created Sympathy from audience. (Another method)
The Voice-Over:
The Voice-over was amusing and funny, They were convincing. Almost makes you feel happy.


 2005 Films:
Note: unable to watch again.










Sorry i forgot abit about it.

The video recorded with a mobile phone:
I believe this is more realistic than the other because kids normally walk home in big amounts and take pictures of each other for facebook and stuff, Then they happen to get someone running over on film which is also a shock because at the start of the film, Personally i thought it was just a normal advert for Kid's clothes advertisment. It was a big shock when the boy got hit by the car.

The one recorded and well-edited:
It was quite realistic because teenagers always are texting girlfriends and get highly distracted, This advert leads for the boy to get hit by the car whilst texting his girlfriend who is only across the road (Abit of common sence atleast)

Sorry again  Some reason the videos would'nt load :(

Screen Acting

The Difference between


Screen acting                                                                                                                   Stage Acting






















  • Volume of someone speaking on stage is not as loud because as you want the show to be as realistic as possible, No-one in real life is going to be shouting to someone that is only like three yards away.
  • On Stage, It harder acting as you only have one chance to remember that line,Remember your stage directions Then if your on film you have unlimited about of chances as they can easily record it again and again (The only problem here is the location,If they are in bright light and need it that way. You will have limited chances because of the white balance and Exposure.
  • Every member in the audience for a "stage" Show has different views.
  • The pace and playing of the scene bulids up pressure on the actor which can lead to Mistakes.
  • The actors move from beginning to end.
  • The actor must have the ablity to concentrate for the entire show and be in character for the entire show
  • The stage is a limited space and the actor has to create a ‘reality’ with sets and with props which are often only symbols of reality.
  • The audience may see the total space continually. The Director and actor must draw the audience’s eye to detail by movement, placement and lighting. The audience can easily miss or be distracted from the detail.

Found quote from the Yahoo Website
"On stage, act with your body; on film, act with your eyes."

  • On stage, People may not see your emotions as cleary as they would if it was on film.
  • On Film, They can edit parts out if you looked the slightest bit out of character.

CRAM videos

NOTE: Videos can be found below this post



We set off with a Camrea to record a chase sequel.

We learnt different Camrea Angles for extra effect. Examples below


The Angle just below eye level:












The camrea abit on it's side below Eye Level:











The Eye Level angle zoomed in on the "Point should we say"











After this Frame It slowly zooms out Showing The "Thug" Stealing the victim's Money.


Simply Eye Level:











Foot Level:  This Angle is the best in my opinion for a "Chase" Sequel.


The Long shot:
